The Société Européenne de Production de l'Avion de Combat et d'Appui Tactique (SEPECAT) Jaguar and Hawker Siddeley Harrier were pivotal ground-attack and tactical reconnaissance aircraft, particularly during the latter stages of the Cold War. The Jaguar made its debut in the RAF in 1974, serving with eight operational squadrons and an Operational Conversion Unit before being retired in 2007. In contrast, the unique Harrier entered service with the RAF in 1969. It operated with four squadrons and was also deployed to Belize, the Falkland Islands, and an Operational Conversion Unit. Regrettably, the second-generation Harrier was prematurely retired in 2011. This comprehensive book, the third in a series on British combat aircraft from the 1970s and 80s, boasts over 180 photographs, encompassing both black and white and color, making it an indispensable addition to the libraries of those who flew or worked on these aircraft, aviation historians, enthusiasts, and modellers alike.
